In 1952 Susan and her brother were given away by their mother and subsequently sent to Australia under the Child Migrant Scheme. Susan's first book Goodbye, Mummy Darling described her journey through life and her constant search for reasons why. Does a return trip to Australia, compensation from the Australian Government, vital information from the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa, Canada, an invitation to the House of Commons - AND a personal apology from Prime Minister Mr Gordon Brown finally allow Susan the forgiveness and understanding she craves? Holding Back the Tears follows Susan's incredible life and her continued search for answers and information about her tormented childhood. As you read you will see there are many coincidences after the death of her husband which drive her on to achieve her ultimate goal. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Susan was born in Cheltenham in 1943. In and out of care from the age of four years old, put up for adoption at the age of seven years, she was sent to Australia as a Child Migrant aged nine years. She returned aged fifteen years old to her mother and stepfather. Pregnant at sixteen years old, her own child was taken and adopted. She ran away to Dublin aged seventeen years, then returned after three years, married a Dubliner and had five children. The first child died aged eighteen months. She eventually divorced after eighteen years. Later she remarried and moved to Spain, returning after five years. Her second husband died eleven years ago after suffering a long illness. Susan continues to work part-time and has four wonderful grown-up children who share more love as a family than anyone could ever imagine possible.
